What it is
The compressor heater, listed in parts catalogues as a carter resistance, is a Glow-worm component used on the Envirosorb air/water heat pump range. It warms the compressor crankcase so that refrigerant does not migrate into the oil during off cycles, helping the compressor start cleanly and run with proper lubrication. It is supplied under part number 0020086294.
Signs this part needs replacing
- The compressor is cold to the touch before start-up, indicating the crankcase heater is not energising.
- Continuity testing across the heater element shows an open circuit.
- The heater circuit repeatedly trips the protective device when power is applied.
- The heat pump is noisy or rough on start-up after long off periods, suggesting refrigerant has migrated into the compressor oil.
- Visible damage, burning or discolouration at the heater body or its terminals.
Before you order
- Confirm the exact model of your Envirosorb heat pump against the fit list above.
- Check the part number 0020086294 against the manufacturer's parts list for your appliance.
- Inspect the existing heater's mounting and terminal arrangement before removal so the replacement can be fitted the same way.
- Isolate the electrical supply to the heat pump before carrying out any inspection or replacement work.
